Great.
Apart from skin woes, my eyes decide to join the fun.
Passed my road code test (35 out of 35, yo! 
) but failed the eyesight screening check! I couldn’t see a thing through that look-through-darkness-thingamajig.
She said, “Can you read row 7, column 3?”
FeR: *silence*
“Can you see the entire row 2?”
FeR: *silence*
(By the way, the letters on line 2 are bigger than line 7)
Thinking about it now, maybe I should’ve attempted reading those lines again but from a further distance. I remember seeing letters clearly when I was moving nearer to the machine but once I was at the “right” spot, everything was blur. Instead of moving my face back, I tried to stuff my face into the machine.
Why did I think I MUST go nearer to see it instead of moving away? Why do I think of it now?! BLERGH!
Anyway, optometrist appointment at 1140am for the basic test. In the event if I fail it, I have to pay $98 for a full test AND get prescription glasses. Otherwise I CAN NOT DRIVE! Sei lor, what hole have I dug up for myself this time? To think I was so worried about the theory test I didn’t think of the other components.
For licence conversion, they usually issue a temp licence when you pass the road code but because I didn’t pass the eyesight screening – no temp licence! I won’t be able to take my practical driving test if I fail my basic eye test, too. Great.
Summore so gung-ho wake up early on my day off to get my test done to avoid the crowd.
I hope it goes well.
